Superb horror comedy, it didn’t bore me for a second. Don’t be fooled by the beginning that looks more crime drama than horror, because what follows after a few minutes is certainly horror. A stylish killer, fun characters and murders, and lots of blood. And the ending, with blood almost flowing out the screen, is supported by a music score that will leave a smile on your face for a long time. Recommended.

The bizarre showdown on the upper floor of a Moscow skyscraper has two distinct halves. The first half, dominated by Englishman Michel Galabru with a sawed-off shotgun and a tragicomic Russian accent, is so sluggish it’s practically a call for an early trip to the locker room. When Jaime Murray strips off her jersey in the 47th minute and the horrible long-haired figure starts writing his bloody herbal concoction, things get a bit more lively. However, this doesn’t change the fact that the playmaker Dorff is desperately looking towards the bench, hoping they’ll pull him off the field.
